Anime fans confronted with the ends to their favourite shows have prepared their latest wishlist of titles they are desperate to see continued – and fortunately if overly abbreviated adaptations (and in one case, ongoing terrorist threats) do not intervene, it looks as if they will get many of their wished for sequels in due course.

I’m happy that I wasn’t the only one who wanted yumekui merry, that filler ending with mistelteinn was a piece of shit but in the manga the fight that comes next was awesome, that said, I want to see more of the vagina bones of merry

And YET again, some mainstream, currently popular animes make it to the list… Like, seriously, you can literally be, like: “Top 25 ” and, even before looking at the titles, you already know at least 10 of them regardless of being a positive or negative list (many of them countering each other and STILL featuring the same titles simpyl because they are “the cool” of now).

I am at a loss of words about this. Either that, or I missed the part where it was agreed upon that you may use any curently popular title as a filler for making tops, but then they would not be on top 5 numbers 95% of the time.

It’s not so much as needs a Sequel, as much as it is: Needs a STRONG finish. The problem with so many anime series is, there is a heavy push to start the series, they get you excited, and then they end the season with an epic “To Be Continued…” presentation. Almost like they’re trying to say, “It’s Guaranteed to be Finished next time…”

If any cliff hanger made me angry for them not to finish Kaze no Stigma comes to mind, but I understand that they were starting on the second season when the writer died and the studio (out of honor) decided to cease.

But that’s on instance where it makes sense and it’s perfectly acceptable, but there are so many of them that DON’T have that excuse.

K-On needing a sequel? Bitch, please, that would be overdoing it. Besides, I’m sure as hell those creepy otaku don’t wanna see their beloved waifus getting involved in a romance with other guys now that the girls are in a university, no longer away from the male population.

Strike Witches would be overdoing it too.

For Angel Beats, I’d rather vote for an expanded remake, so many characters can be explored in depth.

Nothing is really good about it. It’s just overrated, very badly. The only thing I might consider good is the music..nothing more. The action scenes are meh, romance is cheesy as hell, and the animation is just average. Brace yourselves for angry fanboys.

It’s because they’re ending it when fan’s know there is still more material for making an anime. We have the Gun Gale Online arc, the Return to ALfheim Online arc, and the Project Alicization arc which they can animate.

I hate to live up to my name so much, but the Haruhi series needs a continuation (albeit nearly impossible now…)
And as much as I love K-On, the people begging for a 3rd season are pathetic. K-On wraps up very nicely.

Shojo anime rarely get 2+ seasons, unless they’re pretty much fujoshi territory and have hardcore fans. I dunno, maybe the fandom is too fickle to recatch the series year to year.
Notice that even big names like Clamp fall into this. Oddly enough josei flicks, when they hit, seem to have much more possibilities: Shirokuma Cafe is gonna have 39 or 52 episodes?

Few of these shows even deserve a sequel. They just drag on and on, are already past their prime in other ways, or are already “complete enough” to not risk screwing them up even more. They have no real concept of “payoff”. Hell, even Natsume has been dragging on for five bloody seasons now.

I’m just happy Chihayafuru and Mushishi are getting sequels. I never expected that in my wildest dreams. My inner fanboy would be happy for more Spice and Wolf and Astro Fighter Sunred, but really I’d rather see a full-length Eve no Jikan, or an extension of House of Five Leaves maybe. Pandora Hearts barely told any of it’s story either.

Maybe Strike Withes because it was very nice warm and funny. and pantsu. But all these stories are either pretty much done, as far as the concept goes, like K-On, or pretty bad regardless like Kaichou wa Maid-sama, which obviously wanted to last longer but was awful to begin with.

Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya strikes me as a grand and complex story that needs to be told entirely but it’s probable that the author is content with the setting and doesn’t want to bring it to conclusion.

Cowboy Bepop I know Spike’s dead but Faye and Jet Black are still alive and now Faye has her memories back.
There’s still the issue of exposing the corrupt gate corporation who are responsible for Faye’s debt.

FLCL just because.

Umineko This time try to be closer to the VAs.
I want to see Erika in action as the intellectual rapist and Lambda handing Bern her ass.

Are they sure they’d like a sequel? Or would they prefer some of these pull off an FMA Brotherhood or Hellsing Ultimate, having a complete reboot that follows the source material more closely? Yumekui Merry and some others would likely benefit from such a move.

Sequels I’d like to see:
Airmaster – Have Maki eventually go up against that guy who’s always arranging the fights and ranking the fighters. He seems to have the ability to analyze & use everyone’s style just from watching them.

3X3 Eyes – Have Yakumo & the Sanjiyan finally face Benares & Kaiyang Wang in a free-for-all for the fate of the universe.

I have one that I’ll just throw out there because I still can’t believe that season 4 of Rurouni Kenshin completely and totally boned it. Flame of Recca would be good too to unfuck that ending. This is why I don’t watch anime much anymore, bullshit filler, or retard endings are far far too common for my liking.

if you mean the new evangelion then no, the rebuilds are just watered down versions of the original. Instead of improving what might’ve been amazing from the original they substitute a good portion of the plot’s screen time for random explosions and mindless action bullshit. But hey, michael bay movies sell anyway right?

Index, Durarara, Accel World, and Yumekui Merry should be topping this list. These shows pretty much cliff hanged on the core story line. A lot of the other ones are “life” anime where it’s okay to have an ambiguous ending

Never watch FMP but D Gray Man, yeah they could do it. It followed the manga and then just ended. I prefer this above creating a BS ending because it leaves an anime open for continuation at a later time if possible and can continue to follow the original story, unlike Soul Eater.

Ironically, the manga said that the movie and 3rd season were going to flop before they came out. Considering how this season is, and it’s problems that cause a lack of love/interest in it, the prospects of a 4th season that goes back to what it was seems improbable at best.

Berserk, Claymore, Darker than Black, Spice and Wolf, Kino no Tabi, Mushishi there are better shows that deserve a sequel than anything on this list which are mostly from the current to few past seasons. It’s typical that the people who made this list have no sense of taste.

FOr Claymore read the manga, the anime follows the manga fairly well till the ending, in anime CLaire bascally takes off, in manga she manages to revert her fully awakened form, and the main bad girl pricillia gets away.

Berserk looks like garbage i’m sorry but it just does, the art is kinda meh, and the story seems to be about “how much blood can we put in one page of manga” more than anything else.

Never got into spice and wolf, found it boring, though Horo is total win.

Mushishi is a series that could technacally go on forever since the Mushi’s are never going to go extinct.

I personally am so sick of the current anime for the last 2+ years, its constantly the same shit in a diffrent wrapper, then we get stuff like sword art online which differs from it.

To this day I still do not see what the hell was so great about K-on, I found it to be a pretty shit series and i seen the entire first season. Mio is adorable though heh.

I don’t give a shit about anime that might look the same on the cover. All I want is a well-written coherent plot that does not make any ass-pulls and likeable characters is the reason we get shit like sword art online; the idea itself on the surface sounds promising, but it’s horribly executed.

I’ve never read any of the novels, but SAO is HORRIBLY rushed. The story itself has a ton of potential, but I feel the execution is entirely lacking and sucks away the vast majority of that potential. It’s a decent show at best, but I’m a few episodes behind so maybe it gets better? Either way, I’ve been disappointed with it while SHOCKED that most people seem to love it. I just don’t understand. Yes, most anime sucks, but that doesn’t mean something halfway decent should be praised as amazing when it clearly isn’t.

It never ceases to amaze how fanboys like you continue to defend something like this by denying all its flaws and can’t even put up any redeeming quality to make up a good argument. You’re the type that shames people who appreciates anime with actual good plot

I think in the case of Working!!, as with the other shows on the list that have multiple seasons (off hand, I note: Yuru Yuri, K-ON!, Index, Haruhi, Strike Witches, Nanoha) the point is that it needs ANOTHER sequel.

Canon? That’s debatable. But it is by the original author so it’s definitely not fan-made. Well, unless the author is fan as well…but I digress.

If the published story doesn’t include details, is it canon if the author states them personally? I think so. For example *Evangelion spolier alert*, nobody really knows why Shinji strangled Asuka. If the author came out and said “it was to see if she was really there”, then that qualifies as part of the canon material in my book. Or if he said “she was pregnant with his baby”, then I know the two of them hooked up even though it was never stated in the original story. Others would argue that only the published material counts as canon.

I love Toradora, but I like the way it ended. I wouldn’t mind seeing more I guess, but it really doesn’t NEED a sequel. I feel that it’s so awesome already that, most likely, anything they add will actually be worse. But then again more Taiga can’t really be a bad thing.

Probably not impossible. I mean, if they could get some rights from the author’s estate, and preferably a serious amount of author’s notes that could help any continuation look slightly less like a glorified fanfic, it could be doable.

No, you don’t. Trust me, I read the novels. You really, really don’t want that. Except you always disliked Sousuke being at school doing insane stuff and wanted everyone in school do die and Sousuke heading off to some desert place fighting some mecha battles. Because then the sequel would totally deliver.

The fans who respond to these surveys are notorious for their short memory spans.

Unfortunately, it seems like too much time has gone by now to hope for the FB anime to be completed. I had some hope when InuYasha got a proper ending, but that came much closer to the end of its own manga. The FB manga ended years ago, now, so there’s not much incentive to make another anime, I expect.

Same probably goes for FMP at this point (though at least the FMP novels have a spin-off series that’s still current).
